ABC song

Meilynn sings her version of the ABC's.  

We remember.

First Day of Kindergarten

Today MiaRose started kindergarten. Where has the time gone???

This shot is in front of the school.

This is at home, on our way out to walk to school.


Fortunately we live very close to the school and can walk there and back. MiaRose was not excited for school all summer. She kept telling me she didn't want to go, even after kindergarten orientation yesterday. However, about 6pm last night. She burst out with,





"I AM SOOO EXCITED TO GO TO KINDERGARTEN!"





Just in the knick of time sweet girl, just in the knick of time.





She loved every minute of it and can't wait to go back tomorrow.

TA, TA, TA!!!!!!!

We have travel approval!!!!!! Meilynn, we are coming! We are anticipating travel very soon and I am hoping to have dates in the next 2 days!

Article 5 and new pics!

We are so happy to have some new pictures of our daughter!

I can't wait to have her in my arms!!!!
We did have a naming party shortly after Christmas.
We will be naming her Meilynn, meaning beautiful jade.

I so badly need to catch up with blogging! I do have good news to share. We were notified yesterday that our Article 5 was dropped off at China* Center for Adoption* Affairs. Within a month our travel approval will be issued and we will be able to get a consulate appointment* and head to China* to pick up our girl! Please pray that this happens quickly and that she has received our carepackage. The first time the agency checked it had not yet been delivered. It is very important that she receive this as it has pictures of our family as well as a letter to help prepare her for the transition to our family.
